How much does an ATM cost in Florida?
Short answer: With our free ATM program, an ATM costs your business nothing upfront. We provide and install the ATM, handle maintenance and service, and you earn commission on every ATM transaction. If you’d rather own your machine, a retail ATM typically costs $1,500–$2,500 refurbished or $2,500–$4,500 new — and installation is still free.
What Moves the Price in Central Florida
No fuzzy marketing — installation is free, but here’s what can still change the overall plan when we walk into a store from Kissimmee to Ocala:
- Installation is free everywhere we serve. Downtown Orlando, the horse farms off US-27 near Ocala or rural Polk County — no upfront installation cost.
- Your floor. Most strip-center units on SR-436 or US-192 have slab floors that take anchor bolts easily. Raised wood floors in older Winter Park and Sanford buildings can need extra work.
- Lightning protection. Central Florida gets afternoon storms almost daily in summer. We always recommend surge protection, and it’s cheap insurance compared to a fried main board.
- Connectivity. A cellular modem avoids running a phone line — and keeps working when the plaza’s internet goes down after a storm.
Is it cheaper to buy an ATM online and have it installed?
Sometimes the machine is cheaper, but check it’s EMV-capable and compatible with current processing before you pay. We install machines bought elsewhere at no installation cost.
Machine prices are typical 2026 market ranges for retail Genmega and Hyosung models and change with stock and features. We confirm exact pricing in a written quote before you commit.

How Much Can an ATM Earn Back?
Example: 300 withdrawals a month at a $3.00 surcharge is $900 in surcharge revenue before processing costs. On an owned ATM you keep all of it less processing, so a busy location can recover the machine and installation cost within months. Actual results depend on your foot traffic and cash demand — we estimate realistic volume before you decide.
